"Red Rock Country" ©Mary Montague Sikes |
The X-Factor is the special element that Farrah Ferand, the heroine in Evening of the Dragonfly, is seeking in the final pieces of work she's completing for her art exhibition. "Red Rock Country" features Farrah's love for a place she's never seen. With juicy Golden fluid acrylic paints, she uses her Colorism technique to describe the beauty and serenity of the West. This painting is 36" x 18" and could become half of a diptych, if Farrah decides to go in that direction.
Yesterday, you saw a detail from this painting that was in an horizontal format. The completed painting is vertical. Which way do you like it better?

Now we get to see the whole painting - nice!
Love the X Factor of a piece of art.
Thank you for visiting Rantings and Ravings of an Insane Writer. I've enjoyed being able to return your visit.
I like both! It is too hard to decide because I love the big blue expanse of this one with the red.
Hi Monti - I feel this picture should be larger .. perhaps with the diptych - that would expand the painting .. the vistas deserve that expansion of ideas .. Farrah's ideas are wide ..
Cheers Hilary
Alex, thank you!
Jean, am glad you visited!
Birget, I have a hard time deciding between vertical and horizontal when creating a painting. I like having ones that fit well over furniture!
Hilary, I love big paintings, but I'm running out of room in art display locations. I have one thing I want to include in the final painting.
